I think getting in on in this one will depend entirely on the exclusives, but its still a game me and the boys enjoy immensely.

**timetowaste85**

And they confirmed that everyone who backs season 3 that also backed season 2 gets cards for all exclusive characters (from 1 and 2) due to numbers not showing up, right? Woot!!

**Aeneades**

I believe the plan was that season 2 backers get some credit ($10 rings a bell) which they can either use to get copies of all promotional character cards (including season 1 promos) or spend on something else if they didn't mind not having the non-numbered cards.

It’s no big secret that we will be launching Season 3 of Zombicide soon, sometime in Q2. As a way of expressing our apologies for the inconvenience having to use the dashboards with the missing numbers, we will be providing backers that backed both Season 2 and Season 3 with a $10 credit to be applied to any Season 3 optional items in the CoolMiniOrNot pledge manager; this will happen automatically if you use the same email address on S3 as you did S2 - if not CoolMiniorNot will be able to link your accounts after the S3 campaign is complete.

We will also be providing free dashboards for all season 1 and season 2 promos and exclusives to any backer of Season 3 with necessary updates and amendments made (if any), so as to include those of you who missed season 1 or any of the optional exclusives (which you can then proxy other models for). This will also have the added benefit of being inclusive to new backers who want to join us in the world of Zombicide so they aren't left out of any gameplay.

My reading of that is every S3 backer gets the reprinted cards as part of their pledge and S2 backers also get $10 credit - the $10 isn't meant to pay for the reprinted cards.

**H.B.M.C.**

Oh cool. $10 credit!

**cincydooley**

All I hear is free promo :-)

**Nostromodamus**

So newcomers get all the cards for the exclusive survivors from previous campaigns?

That's pretty awesome!

Hopefully they'll consider letting us buy sculpts to go with them (not necessarily the same sculpts, exclusivity and all that).

Unless their CMoN masters decide to jack the price to $15 for promo figures.

Can't see any reason they would, but who knows.

*taps foot impatiently*

C'mon already.

It's only June 28th here, I suspect you have til tomorrow at least.

The latest CMoN newsletter confirms Sunday June 29th as the launch date for season 3.

Well,

This is good and not so good. Some

set his apartment on fire, and the entire building with it on the 16th, and I lost everything from season 2 out of zombicide, except for the base game, my mustache pack and fred.

I still get my $10 credit, but I haven't a friggin' clue what I"ll back now.

**DaveC**

Launch time 3PM EST.

I assume they mean EDT as it's summer time and CMoN are in Atlanta Georgia which uses EDT (the newsletter says EST though) but anyway BST is +5 hours CEST +6

Man there's going to be so much cool stuff in this one.

**cincydooley**

Really looks like it. Can't wait.

**adamsouza**

With them working on another game, and already stating it will be a longer, than the usual 1 year, gap between zombicide releases, I got the feeling they are going all out on this one.

**H.B.M.C.**

Ok, so it starts at 5am tomorrow. That's... annoying.

**adamsouza**

About 3 EST I will start a new thread in the New and Rumors Section for the Season 3 Kickstarter.

The mods will then close that thread at the conclusion of the Kickstarter, and further discussion will trickle back to this thread.

Cool. Good plan. Thanks!

**adamsouza**

Just in case you're asleep at the wheel, the Kickstarter is now live, and the Kickstarter Discussion thread is here

**Piston Honda**

has anyone notice the Barack Obama time magazine image in the first Zombicide game board?

never noticed it until recently.

**NecronLord3**

Not sure if anyone realized the game night #2 w/ not Austin Powers is out? Just picked one up at my FLGS today.

**adamsouza**

Thiago kind of slipped under the radar, but people noticed him popping up on Ebay.

One of the guys on the Kickstarter thread was offering Thiagos for $5+$6 shipping to the US

**whalemusic360**

That's a good price! The dice are the expensive part on ebay, but completionist's gotta complete I guess.

**adamsouza**

There are a lot of us speculating the dice will show up as an add-on.

Season 2 had all of the season 1 dice available. It's pretty easy to just order an additional color to fill orders, and at $10 a set of 6 dice they have to be profitable.

**cincydooley**

What model is Thiago?

Also "Bill"

**cincydooley**

Ohhhhhh. I didn't realize the Austin Powers one was called Thiago.

Hahah.

So after it all turned out, even with my $10 credit, I ended up not backing Season 3. That was a bit of a crunch window for us in terms of just starting to replace everything after the fire. We play zombicide the least out of our zombie games, and decided not to spend the money on the KS.

Have they been better on keeping things on track thus far?
